Thank you for a challenging film 'Very Good': 12 votes Not sure about the Guardian’s “Sugary” review.

15 response slips were returned. The breakdown, and comments were: 'Excellent': 9 votes Trademark Almodóvar – bold colours, meticulously planned shots, the single conversation that began at the bar in the cinema and ended back in Martha’s apartment.

Audience reaction to “On Falling”

14 response slips were returned. The breakdown, and comments were: 'Excellent': 5 votes Touching portrayal of the impossible position many people in the gig-economy find themselves in, one unexpected expense being the difference between just about surviving and abject poverty.
